They make quite a racket in the spring, drowning out the crickets with their caterwauling. I often find them attached to the screen door. They have suction cups at the end of each little finger, and as such they stick to anything, sort of like those gel frogs you can buy in the novelty shops, that stick to the wall when you throw them. Not that I've ever thrown a tree frog. Seems cruel. The weird part of my tree frog experience that when I lived twenty minutes south of here I never saw one. Not in the many years I was there. While here, they're all over. Maybe if you're a tree frog it's not such a small world after all. Cheers, ~Fred John,

I think you're right, though, it must be "peas" instead. I like the juxtaposition with the granite. Jealous? PEACE OF MIND??? Wow. Vielen Dank, man.

I think you’re right, though, it must be “peas” instead. I like the juxtaposition with the granite.

Oh wait, you thought that… Bad writing! I just fixed it so you can see there never really was a cricket. No way could this thing eat a cricket. More the other way around.
